Great signing!!!! Now our defence is looking much better we can definitely challenge as there is certainly nothing lacking up front. Although adding an AM would be a bonus as well as a strong DM like M’Vila
Mertesacker is shite! Why didn’t we go for mexes or chellini even cahill is better than mertesacker poor buy another dud defender on the wage book! This is a joke.
